Treatment for Breast Veins across Cheshire
Hormones, age, genetics, pregnancy, breast surgeries, implants, and weight gain are some causes of breast veins. You will not experience any health-related problems from these veins. However, if you have developed some self-consciousness that has led to disliking the veins, you can get treated. Some of the significant causes of breast veins include:-
- Dermatoporosis – Condition in which the skin becomes thinner due to age, genetics, exposure to skin-damaging rays like UV rays, and using corticosteroids for an extended period.
- Pregnancy – With pregnancy, the breasts enlarge, causing veins to become more prominent.
- Bruising that can have the resemblance of swollen veins.
- Varicose veins
- Mondor’s condition – This is a condition that leads to inflammation in chest surface veins. Most of the time, it can lead to chest pains. Mondor’s disease is also known to cause increased swelling and vein visibility.

Treating Prominent Breast Veins
Treating breast veins in breasts that are still in development is not advisable. Therefore, it is not good to consider the above-listed treatment options for individuals of 18 years and below.
Similarly, it is also not advisable for people with hormonal variations caused by factors like pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should wait until after lactation.
You should also not consider any treatment options if you are anywhere more than three months pregnant. Since some of the veins may be caused by hormonal changes triggered by the ingestion of oral contraceptives or therapy for hormonal replacement.

Sclerotherapy Treatments for Prominent Breast Veins
Sclerotherapy for the treatment of varicose veins involves the use of a sclerosant (a substance which seals up blood vessels when injected) and has been used for many years to treat small varicose veins. Over recent years a technique has been developed which allows sclerotherapy to be used to treat larger varicose veins (up to 1cm in diameter). This involves mixing the sclerosant with air bubbles to create a foam.
Additional visits will be dependent on how extensive your condition is. If very extensive, more sessions will be required.
